Virginia men's basketball hosted another priority recruiting target from the high school class of 2025, as consensus four-star forward Cam Ward took an official visit to UVA this past weekend. Ward recapped the visit with a series of pictures posted to his Instagram page.

A 6'7" wing out of Largo High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Ward stayed put at No. 53 in the updated ESPN Top 100 for the class of 2025. Ward is rated a four-star recruit according to each of the major recruiting services and 247Sports has him ranked as the No. 48 overall prospect in the class of 2025, the No. 15 power forward in the country, and the No. 2 player in the state of Maryland.

Back on July 28th, Ward cut his recruitment to 10 schools and included Virginia along with Michigan State, Marquette, Mississippi State, Alabama, Kansas State, Maryland, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, and Florida State. Ward has taken official visits to Notre Dame, Marquette, Vanderbilt, and now UVA and has scheduled visits to Kansas State, Maryland, Michigan State, and Alabama over the course of the next month.
